Thirteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time

Hey Everyone!

It’s that time of the week, when your wait is over… my post is finally here. 😉 It’s a cloudy Friday afternoon and as I prepare for our prayer, worship, and service gatherings this weekend, I’m mindful of all that the next few days hold.

Tomorrow night, Saturday, August 24th will be our LAST Hiker Evening Prayers (Vespers) for the season. Join us at 8:00pm in the Trail Hiker Center for a short time of sung prayers and silence. Sunday morning, August 25th will be our LAST hymn in our Summer Sermon Series: This My Story, This is Our Song. We’ll be exploring a hymn from the last century that has become more popular in recent years–A Place at the Table. Sunday’s worship service will also be the LAST Sunday with Celeste Scott leading us in worship. Although it’s not a liturgical color, we’re inviting you all to wear something orange (Celeste’s favorite color). Finally, Sunday night, August 25th will be our LAST Trail Hiker Dinner of the season. This week’s theme is GreekFest and we’ll be offering up some gyros slices on freshly baked pitas with tzatziki (a yogurt based cucumber and garlic sauce), and a hand-crafted hot sauce in the fountain. So break out your favorite Mediterranean recipes (or whatever you’d like to bring), and join us for one last amazing feast.

In other news…

Join us for games this week on Monday, August 26th at 7:00pm in the Trail Hiker Center/Presbyterian Annex.

Join us on Wednesday, August 28th at 5:00pm in the Trail Hiker Center/Presbyterian Annex for our next session on Christian denominations. This week, we’ll be exploring the roots of Baptists and Anabaptists traditions.

Finally… Calling all bakers, elves and cookie makers–we are in need of more cookies for fellowship! Consider baking a couple dozen cookies and dropping them off in the Darley Hall refrigerator.
